Reviews

Personally, I enjoyed an eloquently presented discussion of the limitations of current behavioral theories that are used to guide health promotion practice. These theories were developed using very specific targeted outcomes for change, and may not be appropriate for changing behavior of populations of people without addressing critical human values that, in turn, impact society. This is a thoughtful and provocative book. --Doody's An Ethic for Health Promotion has much to contribute to the field of health promotion.--Hastings Center Report
